yeah, this is a hot take that would be rejected by the great majority of Europeans. The only country to join the EU and then leave now regrets doing so. Incidentally, their economy is on fire - not the good kind, they still have lying liars who lie trying to push them into leaving the ECJ (not an EU institution, but certainly a surrender of some national authority for, you know, accountability).

I don't know if you live in the EU. I do, and I like it lots.

I have also lived in the UK during the Brexit campaign, and was exposed to such a shower of self-seeking arseholes - some of whom still apparently wish to take from others, but grant themselves exemptions - will I hope remain a unique experience in my life.

Yes, yes, the EU has no end of fuckery. Yes, it's true. But better that, than bend the knee to the US, or Russia (UK, Hungary. Delete as appropriate.)
You seem to be thinking of people and corporations in the USA though. It's universally either laughing stock or facepalming in every circle I'm a part of or media I read or listen to. Nobody expects his influence to turn out well for the USA, the climate, the world economy, or anything

Blunting the Common Fisheries Policy would be a significant benefit - they need to abide by as part of the EEA, but can't change decisions surrounding it.

Just as a reference of existing implementations of this: This is essentially how Valve/Steam collects hardware details from users/clients. Every now and then, a popup appears asking the user if they'd like to participate in the "Hardware Survey", together with all the data that would be submitted if they accept.

Seems to me like a great implementation.
I dunno. What’s better about a book (at least, a fiction book read for fun) than HackerNews, for example? I mean, I don’t think either is particularly good but I’m not sure how the book would be an upgrade.
Common lisp -> elisp is an incredibly frustration transition. Get ready to really think in terms of dynamic scoping.

I did it the other way, and going back to elisp is /hard/.
Yeah, the article really doesn't make a case as much as assert it.

One way to think about this is whether all these non-file fds are useful for a variety of generic operations, or whether they're only used for epoll and one-off system calls or ioctls specific to that type of fd. If it's the latter, it seems hard to believe that there actually is some kind of composability advantage.

So, what can you do with them?

1. You can use these fds with poll()/select(), not just epoll. That's not a big deal, since nobody really should be using either of them. But it does also mean that you should ideally be able to use them with any future event notification syscalls as well. And the invention of new mechanisms is not hypothetical, since Linux added io_uring. I'd be curious to know how well io_uring supports arbitrary fd types, and whether they got that support "for free" or if io_uring needs to be extended for every new fd type.

2. You can typically read() structured data from those fds describing the specific event. With kqueue all that data would need to be passed through struct kevent, which needs to be fixed size and generic enough to be shared between all the different event types.

3. You can pass individual fds between processes, either via UDS or fork(). I expect you would not be able to do that for individual kqueue filters.

4. You can close() the fd to release the underlying kernel resource. This doesn't seem interesting, just listing it for completeness.

So there's probably enough smoke there that one could at least argue the case. It's too bad the author didn't.

Pirate Party – a political party in Iceland (and in many other countries)
Allowed is one thing, influenced is another. Remember the Libdem party in UK? Several of its MPs were elected on Boris Johnson’s pro-Brexit program, then turned over and fought against the Brexit. Yes, after the election. Left and joined the opposite party. This is what Europe does to its countries.

The standard first 3 R4 keys (control, option/alt, command/win) are 1.25x width while the "true" Mac layout has those at 1x width to prevent the spacebar from having to migrate too far to the right (even though it's still a bit farther right than normal). This means to serve the niche of fn muscle memory users of the niche of Mac keyboard users you not only need the create the custom positional layout but custom keycaps (and the board/firmware you build it with must support layers to do fn in the first place). Then when you do all of this these people will still probably be uninterested because it's not some additional niche design criteria (70% vs 100%, low profile vs full size, split vs not, yadda yadda) anyways. All that is to say, there's a lot more going against it than just repositioning 1 key would seem.

I had a coworker who liked https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/products/mk-lowkey70-black. Basically "an external version of the MacBook keyboard with hotswap switches, RGB, and caps". Dunno that I've seen any full sized variants of the Mac layout though.

It could be argued by the religious that in some cases they did manifest(according to their beliefs), and there's actually an excess of copies of the rules if considering the amounts of the Quran or Bible printed.
Haven't you mistaken Magdalena Biejat (senator and presidential candidate) with Paulina Matysiak (deputy making inquiries, now sued by Newag as well)? They're coming from the same political background, but are in fact two distinct women :)
Not the case. Freedom is orthogonal to legality. To exercise freedom is to fundamentally admit the possibility of disobedience within any sort of rules based framework.
There's nothing intrinsically wrong with hedonistic activities, so long as they don't harm other people and so long as you avoid things like addiction. Even something like using heroin isn't immoral in and of itself (except according to some religions), it's just that it's so unlikely you'll be able to use it once without going down the path of addiction that most of us sensibly treat it as something to never do.

Social media can cause mental health issues, qnd can lead to addiction to it, but that doesn't mean that using it is a moral failing. And frankly, neither is becoming addicted to heroin a moral failing (though most people would consider it a personal failing since we would dislike being addicted to it), it's a healthcare issue not a morality issue. The only moral failing would be committing offences against other people because of the addiction, eg stealing from somebody to pay for the drugs.
I was friends with Eric at the time (we've long since lost touch) and he asked me to review a draft of his book. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was unpublishable gibberish. The joke's on me, obviously: turns out, it was very publishable gibberish.
there is no definitive rulebook for anything in any field. it's just whatever one thought was best at the time until someone refactored or figured out a better solution, product, etc.
Ok, so let's compare the economy of Europe between 1950 and 1995 and from 1995 to 2004. What is the most prosperous? I think there is not even a fair comparison. The only places where you'll find any improvement are in the eastern countries because they literally left communism!
I beg to disagree, 10kW at ~140khz is actually relatively straight forward with modern semiconductors and LiPo's. Eg. the inverters in a Tesla Plaid can do up-to 750kW, so I think two orders of magnitude more power is theoretically possible.

And then they left out that at such long wavelengths there are some unconventional antenna topologies available. Some of which are a lot more feasible than anything that was discussed in the talk.

The dismissal is quite concerning IMO.
Sorry about your search, and sorry to be another reply that you’ve already been inundated with, but in my experience job boards are nearly useless. Especially now that every job on LinkedIn has hundreds (or even thousands!!) of applicants. I’m sure indeed/zip recruiter/dice are all similarly flooded.

During my last job hunt I applied to nearly 300 jobs. Then I recruiter I met at a tiny JavaScript meetup messaged me about a position, and boom. New job.

It’s just one anecdote, but it changed my perspective, that’s for sure. When I’m getting serious about my next hunt I’m just gonna attend tons of meetups and get real active in open source
Depending on the drug, it can be illegal for certain professionals to create, procure or otherwise transfer possession or sell it to you. It's not even illegal to consume heroin or crack in normal circumstances, it's only the possession itself which is illegal.

Depends on the state, but unscheduled drugs don't typically have possession laws. However, if you use an illegal method to acquire them, and in some case all realistic methods are illegal, you can get in trouble for that.
Come come now. That's the very first bullet point of the article. The article did a very good job of giving DDD its due. I don't think it's fair that the article went out of the way to define what it meant by DDD in a Steel Man fashion and this response attacks the first and easiest to attack point of the article in a Straw Man fashion!

In fact, the comment I made wasn't even about DDD, it was more about how I appreciated the construction of the argument. Agree or disagree (I happen to be a fan of DDD) I learned a lot from the article and I wish more articles were constructed like this.

u-Block Origin's annoyances filters take care of the cookie banners, giving the best of both worlds: no banners and a minimal amount of tracking.

I've wondered what might happen if IBM lowered costs on this hardware... If they offered a compelling deal, it's conceivable a startup might choose them over Linux. As it stands now, I find it near impossible to imagine any organization starting with a clean slate choosing a mainframe for anything. Cost combined with the work required to make the thing do the things is just way too much of an investment.

Many comments tout the uptime and reliability of the "mainframe", I'd argue we have many counterexamples built on Linux. Building a product with this level of reliability on Linux is expensive but still cheaper than a mainframe and the various support contracts, IMHO.

I started out working with an IBM AS/400 in college and eventually worked for a company that ran their business on one. Eventually market pressure forced that company to move to Windows servers accessed through Citrix from thin clients. In my opinion, this didn't make much material difference: it was still complicated, people on the floor complained about Citrix+Windows just as much as they did the old IBM terminals. Hardware costs and support contracts were less expensive but the cost of the software was much, much more expensive and the organization no longer had the ability to change any substantive functions. Just sayin', moving away from a mainframe isn't necessarily a clear win either.

As a Portuguese, I'm 100% convinced that if we hadn't joined the EU, we would have impoverished ourselves to a worse standard of living than Morocco by now.

The EU has many, many, many faults but at least in our case it serves as a crucial dampener to our worst ideas about public financing and spending. Homogenisation is a good thing for the bottom 50% of participants.
I'm all for European unity, but if a country is only half-committed to joining the EU, it probably should not be allowed to join under the assumption that EU support will continue to grow.

Maybe I should have added what an encrypted, but not authenticated link looks like, because I meant it in both directions. An example would be doing unauthenticated Diffie-Hellman (without any signatures, or proving knowledge of a secret, or anything of this sort), then proceeding using the shared key with even the best of schemes. Another example would be a spy sending and receiving one-time-pad encrypted data via an untrusted, malleable channel - the only authenticity is in hoping that adversarial modifications will cause one of the endpoints to fail at "parsing" the message. It is indeed useless.

Also, this property of Signal is called repudiation (or non-non-repudiation :) ), meaning that you as a party in the communication can repudiate the origin of the message, i.e. say that you didn't write it. It is a nice extra feature, on top of authenticity and secrecy.
Automating away the centre? Optimal planning and the menace of bureaucratisation
The podcast app I use, AntennaPod (far better for me than other apps, available on F-Droid, no affiliation!) just gave me a local-only year in review. I thought it was a great touch, and would be happy to have then shared the data from that with the app's makers.
It still compromises something I’m sure. Weight/thickness/rigidity or something else. The phone already has a hatch for the battery: the shell. If it takes 1 hour to replace a battery or 30 seconds feels like it doesn’t matter since you need to replace the battery every 5 years and in that time you are likely to take it apart for screen repair anyway.

Perhaps my lack of understanding comes from using more expensive phones? I use iPhones and keep them for 5 years and usually replace 1-2 screens in that time. And since the phone is $1k new it feels completely irrelevant if a battery replacement costs $50 to have it done at a shop or $25 do do myself. If I used a $200 phone there could be a difference of course.
Something similar happened to me: got a job offer many months ago from someone on LinkedIn that I don't know... though these things happen a lot. My title back then had web3 and Solidity developer in the name. He sent me the link to a Git repo for an NFT marketplace, a simple React app. He told me that the previous dev quit and someone needs to complete the unfinished project. I downloaded the code but opened in a VM, which turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life without even realizing it.

When I ran the app some parts seemed broken as expected everything was otherwise normal. He then asked me that whether I'm running in a VM or not and some features wouldn't work in a VM and I should have ran on my actual computer. It was an immediate red flag (why would a React app need that?). I checked running processes on the VM and saw a Python instance. When I examined the opened files it pointed to a suspicious file, and it was a fresh VM and nothing in the project setup needs Python for anything. Then I zipped the project, sent it to ChatGPT and asked about malware, and it found a totally obfuscated dev-targetting malware-downloading script disguised as error handler middleware. If I ran it on my machine, it could have stolen at least a thousand bucks from my local crypto wallets: I checked the payload code via HTTP interception and realized that the script sends any private keys for crypto wallets to its own server, and I'd never be sure of my system again anyway.

I've warned the hosting company (though it seemed like a very cheap and sketchy one anyway), and I found out that the person on LinkedIn has blocked me in the meantime.

These are very real threats, be careful.
again, super happy for you. but i feel some people try to go out of their way to convince themselves that racism is not at play even when it clearly is, because it paints a picture where they are somehow "better" than those who experience hatred. the guy who yelled at me to park farther away, when I called him out on what he said, he walked up to me in an imposing manner and said, "so yeah, I can be a little racist, so what are you going to do, mr. china?" I'm not even chinese.

this is just an anecdote, and you don't have to believe what i say. but i think racism (against asians) is very real and many people are affected by it every day.
This is an interesting thought because there is probably a real dynamic like this with some kinds of content, but as an HN comment it is also somewhat self-refuting.

Ask HN: How to Read Financial Charts
Hello HN!

I recently came across this website:

https://open.endole.co.uk/insight/company/06331310-facebook-uk-ltd

I post Facebook, but I am curious about another company I don't want to put in spotlight.

That startup is continuously running so their net assets and liabilities are on negative side. Total liabilities is positive but shrinking.

Here is the question, I understand Facebooks chart are example of healthy, so for the companies that look different (i.e. like in the startup I have in mind), how does it work for investors to continue fuelling the company for years (i.e. decade) and they don't make any money? Can it be that their business model is to find next investor? Surely at some point somebody will be held accountable?

Linkbait, fake news. There is no EU ban so there’s no EU ban to extend.

A lot of the biographies on this site are editorialized and many contain spelling mistakes. The P-Diddy entry makes no mention of the lawsuits, and the Elon Musk entry describes him like he's a tenured scientist for DARPA.

Just hover over the first 5 or so entries, and it feels eye-rollingly obvious which people the author sympathizes with and which they want to lambast.
Just curious, do you apply this same logic to US government and history? What kind of evils get prescribed to the so called democratic land of the free?
Actually, you phrased your previous post as though it were a fact, not an opinion, so it's more like "A didn't happen for me, so A does not happen for everyone."

I was challenging your assertion, not making a counter-assertion.
But not for the Bay Area. As of November 2024, the median price of a home in the Bay Area is around $1,316,500.

On a 3:1 debt to income ratio, I'd put median income for the area for those who can afford to buy a home there is approx $350K (80% financing on median home price).
